Use A Motivational Wallpaper To Keep Yourself Focused

Keeping yourself motivated to stick to your goals is a tough job—so reader Ben created a custom wallpaper image with motivational phrases as a constant reminder throughout the day.

The wallpaper has 102 two-word mantras that Ben uses to stick to his goals—the same wallpaper might not work for you, but it’s easy enough to create your own similar desktop wallpaper—just open up your favourite image editor and add some motivational sayings, your goals, or anything that keeps you focused throughout your day.

You might ask yourself whether you’d ever see the wallpaper since you always have applications running—if that’s the case, you can simply assign the image to be your login screen background instead—using LogonStudio for Windows users or Loginox for readers using Mac OS X. This way you’ll see the motivational phrases every time you sit down to login to your computer. Thanks, Ben!
